Politicians would work for nothing because they know that they can steal much more than they could ever earn.

Why do you think a california senatorial campaign can cost tens of millions of dollars for a job that pays only $174,000.00? It would take 70 years to get you investment back..

There is too much power concentrated in Washington Until we break that up, the government will be corrupt.

yep, as it is, a good percentage of CONgresscritters enter DC middleclass, and a term or two later, are millionaires...how does that work ???

and nobody questions the amount of cash, or what it *cost* them to acquire it...

I understand the *economics* perspective of the good Dr, but i must disagree with this concept in the real polotical world...

term limits i could agree with, but i believe that the pols would have to vote for that...

kinda like expecting your enemy to cut his gravytrain and voter base to save your own...
